I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! I FEEL LIKE I'M ON CLOUD NINE, TEN AND ELEVEN!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I DIDN'T SEE THIS BOOK RIGHT AWAY!!! Well, I guess even I can't read all the hidden jewel of books.

*happysigh*

If you like romance, cute and heart-fluttering scenes and lots more...

PLEASE READ THIS!!!

I can't tell you all how happy I am that I have really nice friends on Goodreads. One friend in particular, recommended this to me and I just lover her for it!

First off, this book is so cute!!! I could just shout and jiggle my whole body because of all the cuteness. Why is it cute? Imagine having GOTH GIRL and MR. ABERCROMBIE in one room.

Strangers? Yep.

Schoolmates? Yep.

Friends? Doubtful.

Partners? Could be.

Lovers? IT'S COMPLICATED.

Now why is that?

You see, not only are they from two extra different worlds, both of them also have issues/burdens. Stephanie is hiding behind all the goth and Ethan is pretending that everything's fine under all the luxury and glamour. I will not go on and on about their problems, you'll just have to read that on your own. Let's focus on how these two got together.

Have you watched Pretty Woman?

Yeah, I guess almost everyone have watched that movie. I actually just watched that year ago and I LOVED IT.

Let's just say that this story something like that. Not that Stephanie is a hooker, she's just so... goth. Ethan is also no Richard Gere since he's just about to start working for his father's prestigious company. It's just that their circumstance led them to re-enacting the movie (I guess, since it involves a make over and a hot tub...).

These two had to work together for a project. Since then, they've been spending a lot of time together. Then some things happened and Stephanie has to pretend to be Ehan's girlfriend. Suddenly, sparks are flying, lines are blurred and they end up confused and stupefied because they suddenly feel differently... They feel more for each other.

This is where I shout...

❤SQQQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

❤SQQQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

❤SQQQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

I personally love the whole pretend girlfriend-boyfriend. We all know where it leads, but we still read it cuz it's fun! ;)

Aside from having a damn great love story, this book has a lot more to offer. It has humor. A LOT OF HUMOR. I swear I laughed a lot during their "cliche'" banters. They were so...UN-into each other at the start that it was just so... CUTE when they started falling. :) This book also has depth. It shows that what you see from the outside could be miles and miles away from what's really inside. . .and YES, WOMEN ARE LOVELY NO MATTER WHAT THEY WEAR. I love how the author seemed to reiterate that.

The ending is also epic! I was beyong shocked! I never thought... awwwwwwww... I'm dying to tell y'all what happened, but I'm gonna keep quiet so you have to read it! YES. NOW. PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE?!

Past Imperfect is a book that needs all of your patience. From the title itself, you would know that this is a story that is full of i5 DRAMATIC STARS

Past Imperfect is a book that needs all of your patience. From the title itself, you would know that this is a story that is full of imperfections. Imperfect... and yet... there's something that will get you hooked on this book. I can't exactly say which part, but yes, you will feel like you have to read more.

I have been very interested with Brad from the first book. He's the nice-but-not-so-nice boyfriend there. When I learned about his past in this book, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his parents' attitude towards him, sorry for THAT THING that he went through, sorry because he's feeling inadequate, sorry because at first he thought that the woman he loved didn't love him back. Just... sorry.

When he grew up to be the man that he is, I just felt so proud. I know that he didn't change under better circumstances. In fact, he changed during the worst situation, but the main point is that he did... and when he did.. GOSH! He became a swoon-worthy guy.. so sweet, so nice, soooo funny, so tough and yet so scared to lose the girl he loved most.

On the other hand, we have Mabry. Mabry's character and I have this love-hate relationship. She has a very depressing past. When I say very depressing, I mean VERY DEPRESSING. /b>I know that I'm supposed to understand her. I also know that I should understand her condition, but it was just so hard to look past what she's doing to herself and focus on the good things. :(

What I just liked about her is that she was willing to do things differently with Brad. She was willing to change. However, circumstances got in the way and I felt so sorry for her. I'm so happy that she did what she did at the last part of the book. I think it helped her lots.

Together, these two battle their demons. It was tough on both ends. I felt their frustration and I felt their want to just be together and they overcame everything. They did that so perfectly that the ending was so grand. This book will make you drop it for a second or two then pick it up again because you just feel as if you have to know what will happen to them next. I swear, if you reach the end part, you'll be glad that you read on. The author made it perfect for them. :)

I can't believe how much I missed biker books. Ruger and Sophie's book blew me away. This book is both hot and cold. Hot because the charactDAMN GOOD.

I can't believe how much I missed biker books. Ruger and Sophie's book blew me away. This book is both hot and cold. Hot because the characters have such passion that they can burn the house down, cold because in the biker world, you need to be cold to survive.

The plot kinda straightforward. It wasn't beautiful. In fact, it's dirty. haha. Yes, there were a of dirty words thrown here and there... But what do we really expect in a biker book? What you see is what you get here. There's not a lot of mystery in this book, but it's still very interesting. Their back story is so strong that there's no way the characters wouldn't be so connected. I love how Ruger can be such a he-man, and yet so gentle to a kid. He was very adamant at first that he's not that one-woman-man, but eventually, he was able to commit. I love how he was so determined in making Sophie and her son's life better. It was kinda weird knowing that his brother was the one who knocked up Sophie, but I got over it. Sophie on the other hand, is a typical girl. She fell in love early, got pregnant early, got the wrong brother apparently and made do with the plate she was handed. Being thrust into a motorcycle club isn't a walk on a park. Sophie very much worried about this. I like her character because honestly, how she reacts is how I would react in most situations given here. She's so... real-ish. I totally got where she was coming from. I was backing her up in my imagination when she was resisting Ruger. She and I, as a reader, knew what she deserved and that's what she got.

This book shows that sometimes, even when things started out to be oh so wrong, it can still have a happy ending. Needless to say, I love the ending. It's very good and I love it. :)

A lot of you guys may know by now that I hate, hate, purely hate clifDAMN AWESOME BOOK!!!

~warning... some spoilers below.. some... some... some.. :)

A lot of you guys may know by now that I hate, hate, purely hate cliffhangers. However, authors like Abbi Glines tend to sway me to the dark side. She did it with Woods' book and now she did it again (I avoided Rush's book when it first came out). I know that I'm supposed to hate that again, but then I think of all the good things that happened in the book and I just... I can't help but feel thankful that another beautiful book has been made.

I would never get over the fact that Grant had a sexual relationship with Nan. I mean, Nan sleeps with everybody, but the least she could do was to NOT sleep with Grant. Hmpf. But yeah, it's all part of the plot. I thought I'd just continue hating Grant here because of this, but he showed me through and through just how dedicated he can be. I love how he totally turned things around for Harlow and I love how he admitted to himself that he was in love. It was fun reading how frustrated he is when Harlow is with another man. It makes me break out into too-girly-giggles. lol. It was also very touching that he's always there for Harlow. I know he's super afraid because of that last scene in this book, but I also know that he's bound to make it right. I bet he'll follow Harlow minutes after the separation *wishful thinking*.

Harlow on the other hand, is such a nice girl. As I've told one of my friends, Harlow is close to us readers because she's the smart one. She reads, keeps to herself and just... let things be. I love how closed off she can be (not that it's a good thing all the time, but yeah) because this sets her apart from other cliche characters. She's like the man-version of a heroine. It's fascinating to read. I don't think I can be in her shoes though. Like what I wrote on the previous paragraph, I don't think I will get over the Grant-Nan thingy. I'm so proud of Harlow because she's trying her hardest to forget it. I'm also proud of her character because she's so... UNDERSTANDING. It's one of the best traits that a woman can have. She's like an angel with a twist. I love her. It's not a shocker because I already liked her in the previous book. I've thought about her character waaaayy before the release of this book and as it turns out, she has a lot to give..and then some. :)

All's good with those two characters.

However, I would still say that this book revolves around Nan. How would Nan feel? Would Nan be there? What would Nan say? How would Nan react? What is Nan wearing? Look at Nan's face. I'm sorry that Nan was in my past. I was in lust with Nan. I didn't really love Nan. Rush rushes to Nan because he's the only one who'll do it. I used to hate Nan. Nan is just sad. Nan needs to be understood. Nan is out of town. Nan is back. NAN. NAN. NAN. NAN. IRRITATING!!!!!! I know that she's supposed to give spice to the book, but come on! There's a limit to how many times you can use one villain. How many books should she be there? How longer is she going to be an issue for the main characters? It's all I ever read about. It's the source of drama for the book, but honestly, I would've liked this book even without Nan or MOST ESPECIALLY WITHOUT NAN. Her character has already served its purpose in my opinion. The author can go kill her for all I care. Is someone going to complain? Tell me please and defend yourself because I have a lot of things to say as to why she shouldn't be the center of Rosemary beach universe. lol

**breathing in and out**

Going back to my hearts and flowers review...

The plot here is very very very good. Readers should get ready for Kiro. He's one helluva round character. It's like there was a button for the twist and then I couldn't see Kiro the way I did before anymore. He's like this totally new character that I respect and look up to. His story here will humble anyone who reads it. Hell, even Harlow's past/secret will humble anyone with a heart.

I think the tagline for the next book should be... "What do you do when the person you gave your heart to is in danger of losing her heart literally?... Will you let go without a fight to not feel pain in the future, or will you stay and cherish what you still have while it lasts."

Notice that I used "while it lasts".. haha fave book. ;)

It is undeniable that I love this book. Even with the Nan thingy, which dammmnnn, I wish would just stop... I still think that this book deserves all the applause. I finished this within 3 hours and I'm so happy to have read it and have a smile on my face after, even with the cliffhanger. :)

PUUUURRRRRFECT. AMAZEBALLS. AWE-EFFIN-SOME, MAGNI-FRIGGIN-CENT!!! What more adjectives do you guys need to make you understand that you have to read tPUUUURRRRRFECT. AMAZEBALLS. AWE-EFFIN-SOME, MAGNI-FRIGGIN-CENT!!! What more adjectives do you guys need to make you understand that you have to read this series? IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT YOU READ IT!!! Do it! Grab it right now!

This series has been close to my heart for the longest time. Maybe it's because ahem, again, I love the X-men. I love action. I love powers and I love romance. This book has them all and then some more. I was completely good with the ending of the second book, but since there's a third, who am I to complain? haha. I didn't even know that there's a third book coming until very recently when a friend tagged me (you know who you are! thanks!). This has been a joyful and exciting ride for me. The best was knowing that Ms. Wright will give these characters a happily ever after. I knew that based on the pattern of her past books, so I was pretty comfortable.

The story here follows up pretty much to where they left off in the last book. They were to be crowned as the "high couple" and they were having a hard time preparing for that. Of course with all the complications like: vampire-turned-zombie-like beings, Umbridge-like people from the Prelature which somehow reminds me (forgive me for the Harry Potter terminologies) a lot of The Ministry of Magic... they were not able to focus a lot on the coronation.

Sam is still a homicidal bitch. She likes hurting mean people, but in this book, she had to have a lot of self control. Her status as a hybrid helped her a lot in this book, so I'm really thankful that the brothers in book 2 didn't reverse what they did to her. It helped her make a statement on the other vampires. Jared is also thankful for it. Unfortunately, this book also showed both Jared's and Sam's weaknesses. They were both jealous in this book and they both lacked self preservation. I'm just glad that their bond seems to be extra strong, so there's not a chance of them leaving each other.

It was very good to read about the squad again. Their loyalty is still as unwavering as ever and they are still hilarious. I love how they proved to be very good soldiers and I really love how they respect Sam.

The other chacters were very essential to he growth of this series. I like the powers of Ava and Paige. I hope to see more of them. I know this is the last of Jared's and Sam's books, but I'm truly hoping that the author will give us more of the other characters' stories. That will mean everything! ♥

I really set myself up to finish this book on the first day of January. I figured, why notThis book is everything I have hoped for... and then some.

I really set myself up to finish this book on the first day of January. I figured, why not start the new year with a bang? I was not wrong. I succeeded in choosing the best book to start my year off.

Broken Dove is a book that I've been waiting for ever since I started this series. I had so many speculations whether I'd hate Apollo or feel sorry for Ilsa. As it turns out, my worries weren't ever necessary. Kristen Ashley gave two strong characters again. They were not perfect, in fact, I kinda believe that these two are the weakest among the couples because of the way their pairing started. However, they made reading this book worthwhile because they admitted their imperfections. KA showed us the ugly side of a relationship here. She also showed that where there is ugliness, there's always beauty.

How do I describe Apollo and Maddie (yes, Maddie)? Whirlwind. These two were a such a whirlwind that I had to stop a few times to say "Now that was too fast!". One must understand that these two are already connected one way or another before they even met. They were what the other was looking for way before their story started, so as a reader, I forgive their whirlwind-ness.

Maddie had such a traumatic past with Apollo's other world twin that it was hard to trust Apollo at first. Apollo is of course, still grieving his wife who looked exactly like Maddie, so we can just imagine how he felt. What a pair right? They managed to get past that FAST and thus, their romance begin.

The plot was more complicated than the other books. This time, it's more focused on the war.

Honestly, it was like watching a soap opera. Connivance, betrayals, loyalties etc by the people around them. The issue of Maddie looking like the deceased wife was totally explored. It was just normal, I guess, but it was still annoying to some extent especially when it was Apollo's child who was affected by it. I'm glad that it was resolved. There was also a matter of guys falling for Maddie and Maddie helping a friend out with her own love story. Gosh, there are just so many things to take note of in this book.

A LOT OF THINGS SHOULD ALSO BE SAID ABOUT HOW HOT THIS BOOK IS. The steamy scenes, I can say, compared to the other books are off the charts. I think. It rivals the scenes in Golden Dynasty, and those were intense! hot hot hot ;D

There were also some action parts wherein the guys were all heroes. I loved reading about how the other couple's are fairing. I love how the other characters were all here and were all necessary to the story.

Of course, this book is also humorous. I love how each character finds the bright side of things. :)

I guess all I can do now is wait for Noc's story. My hero from the normal world. :) Hey hotstuff! See you next time!

All in all, I love this book. I love this series and I still totally love Kristen Ashley. This is indeed, a good start for my year! :D

I swear! I'll give my soul to the publishers if theyOnly JLA is allowed to make me wait... Okay, maybe Abbi Glines too.

OH MY GOD THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!

I swear! I'll give my soul to the publishers if they would just give me the next book!!!!!

Why are you doing this to me?!

WHYEEEE??

Gosh.

My reaction is so..... dramatic, even for me. But hey, this book really deserves all the drama! It deserves all of my drama, all of the other readers' drama and then some more! JLA does this every time. EVERY TIME. She makes me wait and I love it and hate it at the same time.

Okay, onto the review proper.

First, the cover. THAT COVER. It had me drooling! I used to tell my friends that it's too bad, JLA's covenant series doesn't have people on the cover. Well, this more than made up for it. I'm waiting for my hard copy as I type this (Oh how I hate it that it takes about a month to get here from bookdepo! >.< ). Definitely a 5 for the cover. It fits the whole book.

Next, we have the characters. The characters are awesome. I mean, even the extra characters have some "Ooommph" in them. I will always admire the way JLA creates such a clear vision of her characters. In my head, they're as clear as a day. I don't 100 % blame my imagination for that because I think it's really the author's writing that makes me imagine it clearly. :)

Layla, the heroine, thinks of herself as a misfit. If you ask me, she's just super special. She had such a weird upbringing that even though she's special (in my eyes), she just brings herself down everytime. I hate that she compares herself to many things, like a mule. She's just worth more than that. She's strong, brave, a little childish, but kinda sweet too. She's infatuated with Zayne, but he's off limits.

Zayne is like the older-non-biological-brother-slash-warden of Layla. I know he likes her. Yes, I KNOW IT, but they can never be together because ahem, Layla is just partly warden. Her other half is a demon and you know how it goes when it comes to halfs right? The oldies don't like it. Messes up with the system and all that. Plus, Zayne already has an intended mate. Ugh. Mate shmate. Anyway, that works for me because frankly, I don't like Zayne much. If he's really in love with Layla, nothing else should've mattered. Mate or no mate, he should've pursued her, but he didn't. He just let Layla feel as if she's his baby sister. LOL.

ROTH... What to say about this demon? As it turns out, demons can really look hot and all delicious. He's witty, charming, naughty and not so nice. He's by far the best demon that I've encountered in YA. He's so protective of Layla and it was so obvious that he wants her for himself. He didn't deny it. In fact, he was vocal about it, but he didn't push. I do think there's more to him though, other than being such a hottie prince of hell. There's a history there that I want to find out. I wanna know his thoughts. I wanna know how he found Layla and what his reaction was to her when he first saw her and during the time that he was following her. I wanna know it all. In short, I WANT A ROTH POV. Like a whole book that contains his thoughts alone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE ONE. T__________T

Now let's talk about the story.

This is a whole new world to me. I am so happy to have read 3 JLA worlds so far. The first one is the world in covenant, the second one is the world wherein the Luxen are present and this third one... Well let's just say Transformers have met their match. BOOYAH! Gargoyles and demons when transformed are way cooler than Optimus Prime.

To me, it's so great that they really aren't humans. I mean, they shift into humans, but their forms are all different. I like it. It's very interesting. It was like watching my favorite shows when I was younger. The ones wherein the main characters say some magical words like:

"Moon Crystal Power, Make up!".

SAY YOLO IF YOU KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM. hahaha!

I know, I know... that cartoon was cute... this book isn't cute because when they transform, IT'S EPIC!!!

Anyway, I like the uniqueness and I like that the author was willing to risk it because let's face it, gargoyles aren't really so nice to look at. LOL. As the story went on, I became a fan of Roth's transformation more. It's easier to imagine and to love with. haha .. and yes, I'm saying this because I'm all for Team Roth.

The story kinda revolves around their powers. The wardens are sent to control the number of demons. Demons want out of hell, wardens don't like that so they fight each other. It's a pretty straight forward plot except when Layla comes into the picture. She's half demon half warden and as you might've already pictured, BEING HALF IS BAD NEWS. She doesn't really fit with the wardens, but since they were the ones who took care of her, she feels obligated to help them. It was drilled in her not to embrace her demon side, which is so ironic considering whose lineage she came from. Roth protects her because it's his job (or so he says) and because of a prophecy. Together, they set to stop that prophecy.

The action parts are good.

The romance parts WERE ALLGOOD.

The ending was soooo baaaddd.... It was so bad because it was so good and then THAT happened! HMPF. But it's still great, all things considered!!!

Which brings me back to my first words.

GIMME THE NEXT BOOK NOW!!!!!

I swear it's like Opal all over again! haha!

All in all.. This is such a great book. If you love all things paranormal and if you love JLA with all your heart and soul, THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

It's hard to find a bestfriends-turned-lovers book nowadays which is worth the time. This one definitely fit the bill!

OlBFFs TURNED LOVERS? THE BEST!!

It's hard to find a bestfriends-turned-lovers book nowadays which is worth the time. This one definitely fit the bill!

Olivia and Nate have such chemistry that it felt like the whole book is sizzling with it. I love how they do things together, at first at friends and then lovers. The push-pull theme in Braden and Joss' case was nothing compared to the push-pull in this book.

The characters were so good with each other. Olivia is the not-so-outgoing-I-feel-so-insecure girl and Nate is the I'm-so-outgoing-and-I'm-so-hot-and-I-know-it guy. As friends, these two were hilarious. Their relationship was platonic at first. Then suddenly, boom! It's not so platonic anymore. haha. I love how Olivia stood up for what she deserves. She has guts. I mean, she jumped through fire to take on what's between the two of them knowing that Nate probably won't reciprocate. She loved the guy right away and Nate... ugh! If I didn't know any better now, I would probably hate his character still. LOL. He has issues the size of a bulldozer. I'm glad that he came to his senses.

(view spoiler)[Anyway, the best scenes here for me is when Olivia was already pulling away from Nate. I knew what's going to happen next, but that didn't stop me from saying "YOU GO GIRL!" whenever Nate gets jealous or something. I was a gleeful reader in those parts. I love that Olivia resisted for so long to get what she really did deserve. (hide spoiler)]

It had a pretty good ending. I love it! What else can I expect from the author of On Dublin Street eh? All of her plots somewhat get to me like they're all from real life. Good job!

I shall wait patiently for the next one. :)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>...more

You see, both characters grew here literally and figuratively. When they were faced with the challenge of saving not only one world, but two, they didn't back down. They were only kids for crying out loud! I so love their adventure this time because they went to more places and met more people. Gosh! There were many twists and turns... like the harp and the beanstalk, the little mermaid, the 8th dwarf and Beauty. awwww... I swear I can see them clearly in my head. :) Chris Colfer's voice is just.. wow! It makes you imagine another world in front of you.

The ending is a little... tearful. Although I am sure that this is not the end of Connor and Alex's adventure, I was still in the verge of crying.:( It's just... so sad. :( I'm still looking forward to their next adventure. I'll always look forward to it no matter what.

FAVE CHARACTER: RED (I just had a blast because of her retorts! ahaha)I also love how this novel clearly stated that fairy tale characters aren't perfect. They have flaws and they also slip up here and there. Most of all, I love how this book stated that it's better to know when to apologize. It's a very good moral to have at the end of the day.

This is the story of David and how he managed to defeat the big bad villain.

David isn't epic. He's not AN EPIC. He's a pretty normal guy. Well, he's normal enough.. until you find out about all his "nerdness". His dad was killed by the big "epic" (this is what they call those people who have powers) in town named Steelheart. After that, his sole mssion in life was to kill him. He studied Epics for ten years and somehow, he was able to collect data that not all people know. He was able to figure out their weaknesses etc. That was his ticket to becoming a reckoner (anti epics). Once he joined the reckoners, it was all about planning, improvising and executing them all correctly. I love how their strategies work out. They may not be powerful, but they sure make it work for the best.

The twist in the end made this book damn perfect. I totally didn't see that (or those, since there's more than one) coming. AWESOME.

This book is full of action, adventure, strategies, powers and determination. I love how the plot went and I love the characters. The author is a genius to have made a whole new world in my head. I hope the next books will be as awesome. ;p...more

Everyone knows that I love fairytale retellings. I love how characters from my fairy tale books do some other things beside theAwesome, awesome book!

Everyone knows that I love fairytale retellings. I love how characters from my fairy tale books do some other things beside the things that they were able to accomplish in the books. This retelling of many different stories is just amazing. I love how their stories are re-woven. I honestly didn't expect to love the story this much.

Our main characters are twins who were dealing with something really heavy in their life, when suddenly, they fell into a book. Yes, they fell into a book. We follow their adventure into different kingdoms as they find a way to get back to the modern world. There were many twists and turns into each story. This book is just as interesting as it was funny. I couldn't ask for a more perfect plot. There wasn't any dull moment in this book. It also ended pretty well. I just have to say that I figured out the twist in the middle of the book. ;p

I sure am going to read... or listen ( in my case) to the next one right away. :)

That is how I would describe this book. It made me feel happy, lost, emotional, angry and in the verge of crying and really crying. How a bo BRILLIANT

That is how I would describe this book. It made me feel happy, lost, emotional, angry and in the verge of crying and really crying. How a book can do that to me still amazes me.

The plot is so straightforward. Actually, it's as if he author was reading my mind and writing what I wanted her to write. Their political battles, physical battles and emotional battles were just so... real to me. I mean, I was totally in there. I felt it and it was all very fascinating.

June and Day, they sure grew up. A LOT. I love how "you and me against the world" this book is, and yet, I also love it that boh characters can do things without the other. Both of their strengths were highlighted in here. I still love how Day thinks of strategies and uses his strength or even what's left of it. Of course, I still totally love June and her battle skills. I also love how she was more open about her feelings here. I know that she's this badass girl, but hey, every girl needs a little mush in their lives. :)

The dilemma of Day's illness is actually nothing when compared to his dilemma of sort-of blaming June for his family's death. This is why I understand why the ending had to go like that. It was kind of abrupt and cliffhanger-ish, but it was also very considerate of Day's character. At least now, he has little recollection of what happened to his family or if he knows eveything, it may have come from other people, so I think it... lessens the blow?

I can't believe I'm saying this since I'm a girl who hates cliffhangers, but I also like that the ending is an open one. It lets Day and June meet again and of course, there are so many possibilities after that.

I wish with all my heart that there's a novella out there for fanz like me who wants to read about Day and June's gettinh back together story. Gosh that would be a blast. ***Knock knock knockin on Miss Marie Lu's door*** hehehe.

Anyway, just like on my status earlier... I am so glad that I read this before the year ends. It's damn brilliant, it's awesome and it was a great adventure. Thanks for taking me out of my super busy reality even for a while. :)...more

Sentinel.. Oh! How this book blew me away. It totally rocked! First, the plot was very consistent with what happened in the last book. Somehow, the ugly and beautiful things that happened just mixed well together in this book. It's still fast-paced, humorous, mysterious, full of action and so full of emotion that I think I cried once or twice at some parts. It also has some surprises that I am so relieved and thankful for.

Aiden Needless to say, I love Aiden. I love him more here because of his faith and protectiveness. I love him because he knows how to love Alex. I love him because he's just... there. He's just like this one constant thing that I look forward to in every page. This book made him seem more capable and more in tune with Alex.

Seth It's so hard to forget what his character did in the last book. However, he really did seem to change here. He was also a source of humor, and that's really good. Also, I liked how he seemed to have kept Alex sane when she was about to explode again. I liked how they talk like they were just best friends and not really the puppy love feel that has been going on in the past books.

Alex Still the same stubborn girl... with more feelings. I love how she's so expressive to Aiden and I love how she fought so hard. She's just plain badass and so unafraid. I mean, she was afraid lots, but she decided to be strong.

Even the other characters were essential to this book. I personally like Apollo. :)

The ending was just.. so unexpected that I think I watched a movie with a twist. A nice and really good twist. One big happy ending, so ALL IS GOOD. ^_^...more

I finally read this book. I waited for a right state of mind and emotion to open this book again. I was afraid that I'll seCONRATULATIONS, YOU TWO!!! ❤❤❤

I finally read this book. I waited for a right state of mind and emotion to open this book again. I was afraid that I'll see things that I wouldn't like. The start of this series had so many unfaithfulness that for books 2 and 3, I was sorta afraid for more "cheating" scenes. Thankfully, there was none of that, and I am really thankful.

My four hours today was spent reading through Keira and Kellan's life on the road. It was not pretty and it wasn't without bumps. They had very bad experiences with the media and with the fans. I think I never got over the way their fans acted. They were crazy and they were downright mean to Keira. Is it really like that in real life? I wonder. Anyway, the plot revolved around our two characters fighting for their relationship while on the road and overcoming obstacles. I love that they were more trustful of each other. I also love that their group of friends were very much supportive. Anna and Grif were really hilarious. Those two need their own novella! hahah. Oh well. It was fun reading this. Keira and Kellan together? Hot, explosive and dramatic. :)

This ending is epic. They may have started on a bad note, but their ending surely is a happy one.

WHAT A MOVIE!!!!! Oh was that a book? Didn't feel like it. IN MY MIND, I WAS WATCHIWHOEVER SAID THAT THIS SERIES IS BORING BETTER BITE THEIR TONGUE!!!

WHAT A MOVIE!!!!! Oh was that a book? Didn't feel like it. IN MY MIND, I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE

I don't even know where to start.

Mannnn... the things that I read.

Let's just break it down.

★ STORY LINE - If you have been a fan of this series for the longest time, then we have no problems. Their story became BIGER AND DAMN BETTER that you will have no complaints over it.

Now if you have been a bystander for this series for the longest time, it'll be trickier. Back in the day (hahahaa well, it'not that long ago that the series has started), I would've recommended this series to those people who like the love hate relationship. I'll also recommend it to those people who's okay with hot alien guys and that's about it. However, after reasing the third and fourth book, the criteria has changed. If you want to read about a hot alien guy that is sooooo okay with burning down the world for one human girl, then yes, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU. If you want to read about weird testing facilities and mad scientists, then yes, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU. If you want to read about two people who will move heaven and Earth for each other, then yes, THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU. If you want to reas about family dynamics, group dynamics and action in every turn, then yes, THIS SERIES IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU.

★ CHARACTERS - KATY grew up pretty fast. The book blogger who hates Daemon's guts is now kicking ass and has her eyes opened. She was constantly concerned about Daemon and other people. The girl who mostly lived in fiction world and reviewed books found herself in a real life battle with once-believed-fictional-characters. I knoe that she's feeling a whole lot guilty again because of killing a certain someone, but in my opinion, HE DESERVED IT. As a reader, I would've preferred hos character dead from the start. Oh well. Anyway, I firmly believe that her character has come a long way.

DAEMON .... what do I even say that will make you less awesome? YOU'RE JUST SO PERFECT IN THIS BOOK! I can't even fault you in the smallest things. He has one thing in mind. KATY. When Daemon sets his mind into something, he has his eyes on the prize. The things that he said here will make your heart, head and pardon me.. panties MELT. He's just so darn sweet to Katy that I highlighted most of his lines. The things that goes inside that beautiful, beautiful dhead of his.. awww I wanted every POV to be his!! His character is so far gone that he will fight anyone for a life with Katy. Now my only question is... will he fight his kind too?

THE OTHER CHARACTERS - I admire the author's ability of making the other characters have distinct personalities. For example, Dee is back to being her bubbly, brother defying self. Luc is revealed to be more badass and weirder than before. Archer, the new guy, jas this mysterious soldier vibe that makes me happy because it suits Dee. I hope they continue to be closer. haha. Even the villains have their own distinct personalities. It's just amazing. It makes me feel that they are all necessary to the story and not just background pieces.

★ THE FUTURE OF THIS SERIES - Lux has such a big potential. I would love to see this on big screen (bits and pieces of the forst to third book and the whole of the fourth one). Alien invasion, fight between humans and making a stand... this is what I have in mind for this series. Things can only get mpre action packed, thrilling and let's hope that the sweet moments remain because gosh, this one's the sweetest by far. IT WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO BE KATY, even with the war brewing.

All in all... nice book.. good book.. GREAT BOOK.. AWESOME BOOK. I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK AND DAEMON.

I am looking forward to the next one. Waiting. Patiently. Really patiently....more

Brute. This is how I would describe this novel. It's not pretty, it's not beautiful, IT'S BRUTE.

I am apologizing now because I think I'm bo4.5 stars

Brute. This is how I would describe this novel. It's not pretty, it's not beautiful, IT'S BRUTE.

I am apologizing now because I think I'm bound to use the term "brutal" so many times in this review.

This story is like no other I've ever read. The start brought back a memory of just one book... the running... I remember Kresley Cole's A hunger like no other. I remember how Lachlain claimed his Emmaline. It was raw... and here in The Golden Dynasty, it was raw tenfold.

It started with a really brutal scene and I believe that some would find it extreme. However, like the line that was so used up in this book, IT IS THEIR WAY. So I moved on from that and I tried hard to understand it.

Circe is definitely an extraordinary woman. She was suddenly transported to some other world, bound and released only to be caught again by a brutal looking man, and before that, fighting as hard as she can so as not to be caught. It's amazing how her spirit was not broken after that initial meeting. She held her head up high and she adapted. She was an awesome queen and I'm glad that she seemed to like being queen. She also maneuvered her way around the heart of her brutal warrior and she did so with her charm, straightforwardness and open mind. It was endearing, how their language barrier was breached almost right away. Circe was headstrong. Even when she was faced with unusual things, bad things even scary things, she accepted it.

"I gave up my world for you." --No truer words have been uttered. This is a major thing to give up which just goes to show how big Circe's love is for her Lahn.

They had so many differences that I feared I wouldn't like their pairing. But then, I was wrong. There was no need to be skeptic about these two. Especially with how Lahn is. He's just.... Sooooo .... Big and strong and very very commanding. If I were Circe in the same exact position, I wouldn't have feared anything with Lahn by my side. He was just larger than life. I can't imagine a better hero. Even with all his faults... I still liked him because underneath all the brute force, he's still very very sweet to Circe. He cared for her a lot and he accepted that there are just some things that Circe cannot do or take. know that there were moments wherein he was just downright rude and so damn bossy... But I looked at that in a positive manner. I mean, that's just how he is.

Their conflicts were hard to read, but their reconciliations were so much fun. ;)

This book was written in a very impressive manner that you'd totally feel as if it's you who was transported in their world. I like the way it ended even though it was sort of abrupt.

I really hope that the next book will surpass my awe for this one

P.S. If you're planning on reading this, you must prepare your self to accept outlandishly brutal things first. Abandon the thought that this will be a clean, hearts and flowers romance. There were hearts and flowers, there were also sweet nothings, but there were also nitty gritty sexual acts, vile language and knives and kids who fight. It's different, it's brutal, it's shocking... And yet I liked it. ...more

Yes darlin, you fuckin rock! I love how strong you are in the midst of a whole bunch of trials laid down beforeSABRIEL, THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU:

Yes darlin, you fuckin rock! I love how strong you are in the midst of a whole bunch of trials laid down before you. You are one badass chick.

To be honest, when I saw the title and the cover of the book, I thought that this was about a boy who's an angel. Haha! Hell, was I super wrong!

This is the story of one girl who was sheltered all her life and taught about special things. She was living a rather peaceful life until one day, her dad disappeared. This started a series of complications and tests for her. She unravels the secret of sending people to the next life and bringing zombies back to their deep slumber. She made friends along the way, one with whom she fell kinda in love with (I assume ^_^ ).

In the end, I am happy with her gains and so sad for her losses. She is the heroine and she stayed true to that til the very last minute. I'm so proud of my self for reading this (or listening to this,in my case). The voice actor was damn good by the way. He made me listen to every single word.

Just how can a book be so cliche and SUPER ENTERTAINING at the same time?

I just have to say, after Piper Shelly's Play❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤20 fluttering hearts and more!

Just how can a book be so cliche and SUPER ENTERTAINING at the same time?

I just have to say, after Piper Shelly's Play With Me, I didn't think I'd find another book which is as good. The Avery Shaw Experiment is a light hearted, funny and adorkable story about a science geek girl who "thought" that her heart is pretty much broken when her all-time bestfriend dumps her (in a way) for a girlfriend. It's also about a guy who's pretty much the epitome of "jockness" who falls for the science club girl. Cliche? Hell yeah! Do I care? HELL NO! Should you care that it's cliche when you read it? NO CAN DO!!

GRAYSON: ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀ღ❀

YES HEARTS AND FLOWERS!!!!

I must say, I admire Grayson's character. Even if indeed, he's popular and and ultra jock, he didn't let this get in the way of getting close to Avery. In fact, he was smart enough to use it. He included her in everything and that's just so sweet. The shower scene, btw is something that you gotta look forward to. haha. Just saying. It's so cute how Grayson helped Avery in "forgetting" about his younger brother. And it was definitely badass how he wrote in a journal about his feelings. I'm just kinda disappointed because I thought there's so much more in that journal that wasn't shown in the book. Oh well.

Anyway, Avery on the other hand, is very analytical. I get her, really. I get how she feels as if she's been betrayed by her bff. I get how she must've developed a totally different outlook for her and Aiden. However, it was still kinda frustrating how she kept on "grieving" for him. It's a good thing that there are just so many scenes wherein Grayson made her forget Aiden.. or else, I couldn't have liked Avery a lot.

The story was pretty much predictable. You know when you watch a chick flick and you can clearly see what's going to happen next but you still watch because you want to have more of that fluttery feeling that ends up with a *sigh or an *awwww? Yes, it was that kind of predictable to me.

Really, I couldn't have asked for a better ending to such a cute story. This made my day. I hope everyone reads it. :) ...more

THIS IS A TRULY FUN READ. That is how I would describe my experience of reading Poison.

I am very much awed with the idea of Ms. Zinn. A sixteen year THIS IS A TRULY FUN READ. That is how I would describe my experience of reading Poison.

I am very much awed with the idea of Ms. Zinn. A sixteen year old princess assassin? Who's not going to be lured by that?

This novel started out with the adventure of Kyra, the poison master, and also the one who attempted to kill the princess. I was trying to figure her out hard because she seems to be a really good person, so why does she want to kill the princess?

THE PLOT THICKENS!

So I read on and found out about her sight. Well, it was pretty understandable. She was thinking of many other people, except for her self, apparently... since she hasn't even been feeding her self well! Oh, the horror of reading about her food dilemmas. I mean, if she has the time to concoct poisons, she should've had the time to find food! I was so glad when she met Fred. At least she was already eating! (Me and my food crisis! hah!)

Even before she met Fred, I was already having fun with her thoughts. She is kinda hilarious. Then Fred came into the picture and everything was just bright, jolly and super sarcastic. Haha. Let's add the pig to the fold and we have one good laughing party. I mean, yes, the main problem of the story is kinda serious, but their banters were totally humorous! Even Ari is funny!

The ending? *DROPJAW*

YES, I NEVER EXPECTED THAT.

I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING.

THAT WAS A SERIOUSLY GOOD SURPRISE.

IT'S AWESOME!!!

Of course, it all ended well... Happily ever after even... but then, it's just so sad that the book hinted on a possible sequel and we'll never have one since the author already died. :(

I really hope that, wherever she is, (if there's an afterlife) she gets to see how people are taking her book.

I for one, love it.

I wish more YA books are like this. Lighthearted, with bits of action here and there, a humongous percentage of laugh out loud moments and a really good plot.

RE-READ THIS TODAY (03/11/2015) AND YES, THIS BOOK IS STILL BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. SO DAMN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--------------------------------RE-READ THIS TODAY (03/11/2015) AND YES, THIS BOOK IS STILL BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS. SO DAMN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---------------------------------

The title says it all.

Kristen Ashley has done it again. She made me love her characters all over again. This time, she also made me believe that there's a parallel, universe out there. It's like the Game of thrones complete with magic, elves, dragons and conspiracy, minus all the weird sexual scenes.

I loved Finnies's character right away because she is EXCITED. She's always excited and always very interested with everything. I was awed with the grace that she showed in the face if a very unknown place and a very shocking event. She always found something good about something that is generally bad. Kike the situation that she was in. She made the most out of it and she kicked ass. :)

Frey on the other hand, is quite lovable too. I just hate the way he withheld pertinent information from Finnie. I think Finnie deserved to know everything and I'm also thinking that Frey had a free pass from that since he kinda sorta died while Finnie was confronting him about it. Anyway, he has a very strong character. Everyone bows down to him and everyone reveres him because hellooo... who would want the wrath of the person who commands the dragons and the elves? It's such a good thing too that he laughs a lot with Finnie because aside from being hot while doing this, it also shows that he appreciate Finnie's words. I like how they talk to each other. I like how they stayed open and not let a fight last for soooo lone.. well longer than a few weeks,that is. I love how he cares so much for a virtual stranger and I love how he shows that he cares. He's i posing and yet, he's also very gentle. His character has a very nice mixture. I love it sooo much!!

The story has many twists and turns. It has any high and low points and it has magic. I love how it started and especially how it ended. I hope that the next one in this series is also good.. or better.... :)

~~There are some spoilers here so stop reading if you don't wanna see. :)

OnYAY!!! I FINISHED THIS WHILE I'M AT THE OFFICE!! HAHA

IT REALLY IS AMAZING!!

~~There are some spoilers here so stop reading if you don't wanna see. :)

One pissy pseudo submissive wolf and one beta wolf do jive well. I never doubted that I would love this since I already love Dante from the first book. He just needed a little push so he can truly look and see Jaime. I love how he's such an obsessive compulsive, a workaholic and a very loyal man. He's the complete badass yet very kind hero that we'll all love. He may piss you at first, but trust me... he will redeem himself!!!

Jaime on the other hand, is such a pretentious gal! I mean, how dare she hide that she's also an alpha???!! She's a totally kickass girl with a little problem with her wolf. You see, her wolf is somewhat traumatized so it's always scared and in "attack mode" so she hides it all the time. I can't believe how strong she is when it comes to resisting her wolf. She was able to leash it though, with the help of her beta a.k.a long term crush a.k.a didn't-realize-MATE. Their love story is not a clean cut one, it's filled with nitty gritty details that made me annoyed and all that. For example, Dante has two exes who are sooooo set to put their claws on him again so Jaime had to fight constantly. When they fought near the end of the book, I had full confidence on Jaime's wolf. So yeah, she defeated them... with a price.

I think the most profound scene is that when Dante stayed with Jaime's wolf when she wasn't letting Jaime come out. It was so heartbreaking, the way he just sits there with her and at some point, he couldn't feel Jaime anymore. He never lost faith and he protected her though and through. That was very good. That was heroic and very heartfelt of him. I loved him for it. (view spoiler)[ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GUY CRIED!! T________T (hide spoiler)]

So there. All in all... I LOVE IT. THE PLOT IS GOOD WITH A HEA. :)

P.S. Please tell me that the next book isn't Nick's and Shaya's. NICK WILL HAVE TO GROVEL AT SHAYA'S FEET... OH, AND MINE TOO.. AND ALL THOSE PRETTY WOMEN WHO HAS READ THIS BOOK!!!!!

NICK IS A VERY VERY VERY DEAD MAN!! JERK!! GROVERL AT MY FEET, SERVANT!! I'm sure you'll redeem yourself, but be aware that I'm not a big fan right now. lol ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>...more

I mean ohmygosh! This book is just.. It's so... It's ... UGHHH..Goodreads is asking me right now.. What did I think?

OMFG. I NEED THE NEXT BOOK STAT.

I mean ohmygosh! This book is just.. It's so... It's ... UGHHH.. This one makes me speechless!

Okay, I have to compose myself.

Right.

The story is all about good and evil, as the title says. It's all about the division between the two and the fine line that separates the two parties.

At first, I thought I got it all figured out. Sophie, the singing girl in all pink would become a princess and Agatha, the girl who lives in a graveyard would become a grand witch. These two were unlikely friends you see. I thought that everything was all planned out. Imagine my shock when at the start of the book, they were dropped into opposite sides! Sophie in the school for evil and Agatha in the school for good! SHOCKER! I thought that all was a mistake, really. However, as the story progressed, the characters started to project different attitudes. Sophie started to become infuriating. She was so... friggin bratty and downright catty! Then Agatha started caring and becoming super good. Color me confused!

Then, I found out that I've been tricked too! haha. Tricked because I didn't really know who I was rooting for. Was I rooting for Sophie's survival in the evil school or was I rooting for Agatha's triumphs in the good school? Was I also rooting for the prince who's sometimes vain and sometimes gallant? Gosh.. It was all so confusing.. and also very exciting! Their schools are made to be somewhat..um.. well.. Harry Potter-ish.. only with a lot of divisions and lots of rules. I swear, they're all so interesting (their subjects and challenges).

My only sort-of complaint is the ending.. ugh! It's so abrupt! But the book is just so beautiful that you have to appreciate "the now" rather than dwell on that cliffhanger.

In my head, this book as become my own personal movie. For hours and hours, I listened to their magical schools. When I become a parent one day, this will be one of the books that I'll put on my hmm.. 9-11 year old daughter. ...more

Honestly, this is one of the best bad boy meets good girl books! I recommend it to every100 stars!!!!

DING DING DING!!!

AND WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER! ^_^

Honestly, this is one of the best bad boy meets good girl books! I recommend it to everyone. Let's all read this!

The story is all about our hero, RULE. He's every mom's nightmare. He has so many tattoos since he's also a tattoo artist himself. He dresses the part too, complete with the mohawk and crazy hair colors. He lives his life the way he wants to and that's always how it has been. Rule may look like and act like the world's biggest badass, but he has his demons. His twin brother died 3 years ago and his mom blamed him for it. Even though he was always second best to his twin, they had a good family back then, and now they didn't. Their mom is practically batshit crazy now because she's (as Shaw says) rewriting an imaginary history wherein Rule is the villain. As expected, Rule didn't take this lightly. In fact, he always doubts people's feelings for him. They always gotta prove that they care for him.

Enters our heroine princess, Shaw. Yes, I'll call her princess, and that's a real compliment because she's just too good to be true! I mean, I love her character because hell yeah, she's rich, but she's not a snob. She doesn't rub her money on another person's face. She's very patient with everyone, she's kind, loyal, headstrong and she loves as hard as she can. She has been in love with Rule ever since she was 13. Unfortunately, Remy, Rule's twin, used her as a pseudo-girlfriend in the eyes of the Archer family (view spoiler)[ since he was gay and didn't wanna come out (hide spoiler)] so Rule has been seeing her only as his brother's girl. LOL.

One night, sparks fly and suddenly, Rule is looking at her in a different way. He was even willing to KINDA date her, which was in his case, such a big deal because he didn't really date. Rule knows that a relationship with Shaw changes everything and she couldn't be just one of "those girls". On the other hand, Shaw has been struggling because she couldn't tell Rule that she loved him... A LOT. And that's where the complications rise. It was beautiful, even with the complications. I love how the author showed both of their imperfections. I love how their redeeming qualities also showed after everything. I love how Rule has been taught by Shaw that he could be loved just like everyone else.

This novel not only shows how two completely different people could totally fall for each other, it also shows how people deal with grief, and that is a beautiful thing because it's proof that we're all human. Rule's mom admitted something in the end and that made a whole lot of a difference for my Rule. I just bet he needed that the most!

The ending was really good. I love their getting-back-together scene! It rocked and y'all should look forward to it! ^_^

So that's it.. ANOTHER WINNER FOR ME!

I applaud for this book! I LOVE IT! ^_^["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>...more

I think they've gone full circle. I can now rest knowing that they really did have thIs it crazy to say that I finally feel that the story's complete?

I think they've gone full circle. I can now rest knowing that they really did have that happy ending. When I read this, I realized that I was waiting for a lot more from Beautiful Disaster. I am so happy to have read Travis' thoughts.

I have long since accepted that he's a straight A badass yet emotional guy. I also accepted that lots of people don't get his character from BD, hell even I didn't fully get him. However, I am very proud to say that this time, I fully understand him. I get where he's coming from and I get that he's not like most guys (fictional or not). I love how bared he was in this novel. I fully appreciate how he is with Abby. I mean, Abby was so closed off in the first few chapters of BD... while Travis? my oh my, he was more closed off! His thoughts are just.. WOW. I already figured out how he must've felt in many parts of BD... but actually reading about it? NOSTALGIC

I must sound sappy.. but I think I actually fell in love with him here ALL OVER AGAIN.

I don't care what others say about him.

I will not care about all those.

I even refuse to read/hear them.

So he did some crazy stuff especially when Abby left him (twice)... but hey, DON'T WE ALL DO CRAZY stuff when in dire moments? I know I do. I'm only human.

I feel.. *whew*, I can't convey how I'm feeling right now. Maybe after a few hours, I'll be able to distinguish this feeling, but for now, all I know is that I'm contented.

Letter time again!!!

Travis,

You are indeed one of the weirdest, craziest, hottest, most emotional badass in my fiction world. You're my fiction boyfriend again, okay? I'll dump Braden, Lucas.. uhm okay, even Rule for you again. I have seen you in a new light... it's brighter than ever and I don't think it's ever gonna dim.

Honestly? I would be a very happy girl if I could just read every book with a guaranteed happy ending.

This one's like that. :)

P YAY FOR THE SWEET!!!

Honestly? I would be a very happy girl if I could just read every book with a guaranteed happy ending.

This one's like that. :)

Perchance is a cute, sweet and romantic YA novel. It's about two people who went to a new place with heavy hearts. Suddenly, everything changes. They find themselves in love. They become the highlight of each other's days. Somehow along the way, they also manage to become better people.

Cooper is indeed one of the most endearing, patient and sweetest YA character that I've ever come across. His everyday thoughts about Remi were just the sweetest thing! I could just bundle him up in hearts and sunshine! He's also big on the "grand gesture" which is kinda rare to most YA guys nowadays. I can't help but admire his patience with Remi, especially when Remi pulled her disappearing act. I am so amazed by his plan and the way he handled not being with her. On the other hand, Remi, even with her trust issues, has her moments. She sure know how to make a grand gesture all on her own.

The beauty of this book lies in the conflict itself. I found myself asking things like "If I were Remi, would I have done this too?" or "What will I do if I were in her place?". I wasn't even worried. I totally knew that they'd end up together again. Hah! The power of faith in my author.

All in all, this is a good read. It's full of surprises, sweet moments and... stalkery? HAHA. I'm glad that I gave it a shot. ;) ...more

Had I not seen the ending, I would've shunned this book near the end. It's one of those books that See? It's not so bad to take a peek at the ending!

Had I not seen the ending, I would've shunned this book near the end. It's one of those books that make you fall hard. It's also one of those books that makes you want to trade places with the characters because they're in some place nice and you wanna see what they see. Yes, this is all about the road and places to go without really knowing where you would end up. Many people dream of doing it but only a few succeed on putting it into action. Camryn and Andrew are one of those.. well, in the fiction world, that is.

First off, I would like to share my embarrassing experience that I got by reading this book.

You see, there was this part near the end wherein Camryn was reading Andrew's letter. THERE! That's the part wherein I cried childish tears! Complete with the hiccup and tears. Where was I when I did this?

I WAS IN A FRIGGIN JEEPNEY! (It's one of the main modes of transportation in my country that holds about 14-16 people) Even if I was wearing my darkest tinted shades, I was so obvious! It was silly as hell, but hey, I couldn't help it. If I had not taken a peek at the ending, I would've thrown my nook on some random passenger. That would've been careless and most embarrassing.

So there, done with sharing and caring.. off to new heights with my Andrew!

Andrew and Camryn both had to get away. I honestly thought that was gonna be a light hearted novel that's all about road trips and such. It was indeed light hearted. As light hearted as it can get when the heroine had faced a series of unluckiness in life and when the hero's dad is dying with Cancer and wasn't letting anyone grieve the proper way.

I learned to love Andrew the moment he had his first POV. I considered him as a happy-go-lucky person who deep inside wants a seriously happy ending. He's hot as hell (as the book says) and he was protective of Camryn even when they didn't know each other yet. He may have issues with his dad but it all makes sense in the end. He was always ready to go with Camryn. He was also always crying that I shook my self for not seeing it (view spoiler)[ that he was also sick! BRAIN TUMOR SUCKS! (hide spoiler)] sooner!

On the other hand, our heroine is a tortured one. I mean, she had a lot of misfortunes before she decided to just run away and try to experience new things. I admire her for her courage in doing the unthinkable. She literally blurted out the first place that came to her mind, as Andrew says, IDAFUCKING-HO. Camryn's character could also be seen as somewhat needy and one who has trust issues. Well, lemme just say that in the end, I liked her character more. She has been through one boyfriend dying (view spoiler)[ she doesn't need another one who'd die too! (hide spoiler)]. There's always a time that I wanna have some of the traits that a character has. This time, I wanna have Camryn's tenacity. Not breaking down when life seems so out of sorts is a really good trait.

THEIR TATTOO IS PROBABLY THE BEST TATTOO FOR MY FICTION WORLD THIS YEAR. It's great to know that a fiction guy can still be romantic and kinda cheesy over a tattoo. I'm so happy that Camryn also got hers!

Oh well, what else can I say?✔It's love at first sight.✔It's one of those insta-love that works for me.✔It's one of those stories that touches the heart of a romantic like me.✔ It's one of those books that can make you cry, laugh, be frustrated, angry or even disappointed (kinda like how I feel for Nat, no offense). ✔It's also one of those books that you wish had a longer ending because the ending just seemed so... abrupt? Albeit, it's a happy ending, I still wish it was longer.

Anyway, here are some tips that I got from this book for living your life to the fullest:

✶ Try not to plan anything when you go on a road trip. The surprise makes it all more exciting.✶ Talk to nice looking people who sits next to you. ✶ Be vigilant of people who lurks around and always seem to look at you funny.✶ Follow your heart when it comes to decision making. It may go wrong at some point, but at least you can say that it was your decision and you stood by it.✶ Let go of the past and start forgiving. Giving people second chances has a good rate of success.✶ If you're a parent, try not to ask impossible things from your kids. It's one thing to be a "cool parent", it's another thing to teach your kids to be stones.✶ If you're a son or a daughter.. or you're a member of a family, consider the feelings of your family member. ✶ Don't let the moment pass you by. If you're gonna do it, do it now.✶ Trust is really a core value that is earned and should be kept safe.

~~Christmas is near so I want to share one of my wishes to Santa (and the author) now.

Dear Santa,

Please let the next book be about Asher? Please pretty please? He's such a good boy, I wonder how he'll be if he gets to have his very own story.

P.S. My friends also like Blake, so if he's next in line, we'll take it!

~~THERE IS A NEXT BOOK RIIIIGGHHTT?

Reading everything from Carter's view is amazing. Firstly, he's a boy. He has all sorts of diThis is probably one of the most unique reads of my year.

Reading everything from Carter's view is amazing. Firstly, he's a boy. He has all sorts of different thoughts that girls can't have. He has one hell of a worrying mind, that boy. Between his mom being an alcoholic and the needs of his special sister, he would've exploded with all the things swirling around in his mind if it was possible. There were times wherein I was so angry at his mom for letting Carter shoulder all the trouble when it comes to her drinking habits, but there were also times wherein I was frustrated with Carter because he's just so damn martyr-ish! He became such liar too and it sucks.

His saving grace was Kira. Yes, Kira with all of her unique get ups and stunts, captured his heart and made his life better. I mean, he started being better when Kira came into the picture. Now that's one heroine that I truly want to be. Kira's views in life is pretty good. She doesn't care what other people think or say. Well, she also has her deep dark secret (an exaggeration, really) but for me, it only made her stronger. I love her. She even loves Carter's sister so much, she dyed her hair orange! way to go sissy!!! I lover her for Carter. I'm so glad that she stayed with him no matter what.

I'm very happy with how the story ended. :) Good one, Ms. Dawn! ^_^ ...more

The story was good and it was filled with secrets. I had many suspicions (view spoilLOVED IT..

Things may have been a little too fast but that's okay!

The story was good and it was filled with secrets. I had many suspicions (view spoiler)[I even thought that Payton's mom is Nick's mom! That would've been inappropriate in many ways! (hide spoiler)] about the mystery that is Nick's mom. I love the anticipation and I love how it turned out.

It was really good that these two characters were resilient. Payton isn't overly dramatic with the lack of parental guidance.. she even defies them.. and Nick isn't very bitter (well, he kinda was but just a little) with the lack of mom. I love how they react to each other. Sarcasm, light banters and cute scenes. The conflict near the end was kinda petty. I mean, it would've been cleared fast if only there was no problem with their communication. They're getting back together scene was kinda.. hmm.. weird and yet.. it was cute.
